Jasper dressed as a tree high,

Ten thousand strands of green silk draped down.

I don't know who cut the fine leaves,

February spring breeze is like scissors.

In early spring and February, the willow tree wakes up from its sleep, pulls out emerald green branches, spits out tender green buds, and the spring breeze blows, like a girl, graceful and poetic.

The willow branches are long and soft, drooping and fluttering with the wind. In Chinese painting, when depicting willow trees, we should pay attention to the graceful and colorful expression of willow trees, with slow strokes and continuous strokes, soft and rigid gestures, fluffy and full of changes. Therefore, there is a saying that "it is difficult to draw a tree and draw a willow".

Please enjoy the willows of the Chinese painting masters and see how the masters "turn decay into magic" and create a moving spring intention!
